3rd boy help!!!

[K4tieT]

Hi, reaching out for more input please and some random suggestions for 3rd boy due in 7 weeks!

Sibling for Edward & Henry but thinking a bit wild card this time and using a name I wasn’t brave enough to go for previously!

shortlist so far:
Rupert
Percy
Barney
Rufus
Caspar

Don't want to go with the obvious George, Arthur, James, William etc!

any ideas very welcome, thank you!

Go for Percy and have the full Tank Engine set!

Thomas. I prefer James to your shortlist.

😂 to pp! Was going to suggest Thomas but might be bland/too much Thomas the tank engine.

Quite like Rufus but how about Rory? I love the name Rory!

Barney 😍

The first name that came to my head was Kit.

Rupert and Xavier are my favourite names of all time. I’m also really keen on Alexander, aka Xander.

Edward, Henry and Rupert
Edward, Henry and Xavier
Edward, Henry and Alexander

Caspar is my favourite. Rupert and Rufus go better with your older ones I think and I like them!

Definitely Rupert!

As a mum of teens, I don’t think my kids would thank me for calling them some of these names! I think Casper works really well for all ages, and also passes the cool teen test!

How about Reuben instead of Rupert or Rufus? Or do you like

Max
Rory
Jasper
Toby
Felix
Stanley
Austin
Miles
Robert / Bobby
Albert / Bertie

Rupert or Caspar are perfect as a bit of a “braver” choice whilst still complimenting your older two.

I also think these would work:
Oscar
Albert
Barnaby
Felix
Theodore

Thomas or James

You can't have three Thomas the Tank engine names

I like Warwick ( pronounced like the place obviously)
Angus is a fave too
Monty ( longer version if you like something more official )
Mungo ( ditto )
Fred ( Frederick )
Stanley ( although it would make me yearn for more The Detectorists )
Seb ( Sebastian )

Ps I know kids with all these names, now all in their 20s.

Ps. Both the names you’ve chosen mean wealth in some way
wealthy guard = Edward
house ruler = Henry

similar sort of names are
Frederick = peaceful ruler
Alexander = protector of men

Rupert = fame glory honour and godlike ! ….blimey that’s a good one

Your other choices OP aren’t really of a similar meaning to your first two children Rufus for egs means red haired

Checking the meanings might be a way to whittle down your choices which is what we did.
Our 3 boys are all named after great libraries and also have meanings reflecting protection, love and peace.

Magnus

Oo that’s a good name
so
As I’m on a role with name meanings it means Greatest. Nice!

Caspar is gorgeous with your other names. Jasper too as a suggestion x

The older boys are king names rather than trains but thanks! Tbh Thomas the tank have soooo many names and new characters it’s hard to avoid!

Thank you! I love the meaning of Rupert too!
my youngest Henry is definitely the ruler of house 🤣🤣

I love this but a friends son is Magnus - with sibling girls Clementine (clem) & Genevieve which are just adorable!

I think a lot is area dependent too. Our shortlist isn’t that unusual where we live in SE London/Kent border.
we did consider Reuben for a while but it wasn’t sticking like Rupert!

Rupert for sure 💙

I’m not much help because I love most of your “too safe” list, especially George and James. Also love the suggestions of Alexander and Robert, which are also probably not what you’re going for 😂.

I can’t say I love any of the other choices, though I think I’d pick Percy from the list. None of the Rupert’s I’ve met have been characters I’d want to remember, so that might be influencing me! Caspar is my least favourite.

I love Rupert and I like Rufus and Caspar.
The others are not as handsome as Edward and Henry, sorry.

Edward, Henry and Rupert.

Other suggestions:
Lachlan
Dougal
Duncan
Derek
Fergus
Neville
Angus

Love Rufus!
